It was singular coincidence that the
two sister Republics Of North America
should both be iub,lating at the same
moment over great events in their his
tory, the United States celebrating the
cen biennial of the Constitution, and Mex
leo concentrating the centennial of
the anniversary Of her Diaz. What
more is needed to demonstrate the ia
thcrhood Of God and the brotherhood
of.man, or that the New World; at least
is the permanent abode and the strong,
safe guardian of the blessed boon Of
freedom so gloriously won by the blood
and Drawn of the fathers Of the republic?
The great pageant at Philadel pima
marks an important milestone in our
country s history and progress, that will
only be less memorable in the annals
of the Republic than the celebration OF
the centennial of the Declaration OF
Independence. AS educators Of the

Necessary FOllics.

In about two weeks the political bal

about six weeks, the citizen Of intelli-
gence and with an independent and un'
biased soul will enjoy himself if he will
inst keep his eyes and ears open and
his mouth shut.
Strained and impossible meaning
will be attached to words and actions
when least expected some one will be
called upon to explain remarks the
most innocent friends will scarcely
dare risk the customary intercourse for
fear of misunderstanding and heated
discussions where opinions are cast
iron, yet diametrlcally opposite, will be
in order; somebody will get mad, 9th
ers want to bet and still others will
want to punch your mug; there will be
banners and torches. hurrahs and hats
in the air; eloquence, argument, re.

tiers, Doodle and bug juice; full vote
and fair count; twerty-one men
elected, forty-two, or more, men defeat
ed the fun as we'll as the work will be
over and the country saved.
The product of all this friction; the
out-growth of the great privilege of
this elective franchise is our glorious
republic and though silly and unneees-
ary things are aaid and done, we could
scarcely wish to have it different, were
it possible.

Foreign Wheat Supplies.

Americans who do not understand
why wheat is so cheap, though the CROP
here is comparatively small, certainly
$4,000 900 bushels less than that of last
year, may find an answer in the statis-
tics of the international corn market at
Vienna, received by the last mail from
Europe. These reports have been pre-
pared for many years with the greatest
care and in commercial circles abroad
are trusted even more than official state
ments. They show that the yield in
1887 has been remarkably large, and,
says The London Economists Vienna
correspondent, "but for the decline in
the production of the United States and
India, prices would probably have fall
en- very heavily. Even under existing
condition prices remained low and trade
the first day Slow"
The yield in Austria is reported at
II per cent above the average and in
Hungary 26 per cent. 1t is estimated
that Austro. Hungary will have $4,000,
600 bushels to export. In Bavaria the
crop is about 20 per cent above the av'
erage; in Great Britain and Ireland 80
per cent in Servia 40 per cent; in Little
Wallachia. 25 per cent; In Central Rus
STA l8 per cent; in Cherson 20 per cent.
other Russian districts ranging from 90
to 100, reckoning 100 as the average.
The yield in Switzerland is rated as ITO
in France lO5, in Holland 102, in Den.
mark and Sweden 100 and in Italy 80.
The wheat crop of India is reported as
100000 tons, against 7,739,0o0 last
year, but exports from that country de.
pend largely on rates made by railroads
and dealers.
This country has probably about 43l,.
100000 bushels, estimating from the
last reports Of the bureau, besides about
AZ, 100000 carried over from last year.
The quantity exported in July Of wheat
and -four was equal to 1850, 800 bush.
els ofwheat and exports in August We're
also large, but decline has been observ
ed as the new supplies abroad are as'
sured. With ordinary consumption of
food and seed this country has on hand,
a surplus larger than was exported last
year, while the improvement in foreign
crops warrants expectation off smaller
demand from abroad. -Ncw York 7}ad-

When to this is added the fact that
he pays not one cent of duty on this
Crude sugar brought from the Islands,
some idea Of the enormous profits Of
the business may gained. 1t was esti-
mated three years ago, when the bus
mess was at its height, that Spreckles

day each barrel worth thirty dollars,
thus glylng him daily revenue of eigh-
teen thousand dollars, or six mihon FIVE
hundred and seventy thousand dollars
year. His profits we're a clear ten
dollars on every barrel, making his year
,y income two million one hundred and
ninety thousand dollars. Now, kpw-
ever, The profits have dwindlsd sadly,
